Thanks for the link. There is a very technical distinction between monastery and priory, which is why I asked you originally what you meant. Regardless, what I get from the link you posted is that its claim to fame is due to the fact that "the church is one of the very earliest stone buildings in Scotland". That indeed is a real claim to fame!
